termed the reports about Dr. Jar-

tastic" and dismissed them. "So
far as Dr. Jarring is concerned, we
know he has no such ambitions,"
he said.)
The magazine attributed its in-
formation to well placed circles not
connected with any Middle East
country. It viewed the purported
reshuffle against the background of
the current Soviet-American talks
on the Middle East and the possi-
bility that the UN would become
the instrument for imposing a set-
tlement on the area in the name of
world opinion. In that event, the
Jewish Observer said, Thant's
reputation in Israel would reduee
his political authority whereas Dr.
Jarring is popular in Israel and in
Egypt.
lilanescu is also well regarded in
Israel, which maintains diplomatic
and trade relations with Romania.
The latter is the only Communist

foreign minister said that disputes

ACLU Backs Right
to Nazi-Style Funeral
RICHMOND, Va. (JTA) — The
American Civil Liberties Union
filed an appeal in the fourth U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals Monday
contending that the army's refusal
to permit a Nazi-organized burial
service of the ashes of George Lin-
' coin Rockwell, slain by a fellow
Nazi in an Arlington, Va. parking
lot in 1967, was unconstitutional.
Rockwell's cremation remains
are still in the hands of the Amer-
ican Nazi Party. 'The army had
ruled that the proposed funeral in
a national cemetery in Culpepper.
Va., was improper because sym-
bols of the Nazi movement, or any
other political affiliation, are not
permitted in the cemetery. The
army's contention was upheld by
the U.S. District Court in Alexan-
respect for the sovereignty, inde- dria, Va.
